problem installing Windows 11 on Dell Vostro 3520
Hello,
I need help installing Windows 11 on my Dell Vostro laptop.
When I bought the laptop, he came with an Ubuntu operating system installed with it.
But I wanted to make a change, and go from Ubuntu to Windows operating system and install a Windows 11 on my laptop.
I'm trying to install Windows 11 with a USB bootable drive, but I get the message: Windows cannot copy files required for installation. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x8007000B
I have formatted all the drives on the disk, disk is clean and prepared for installing Windows, but it's not working.
I have also changed the BIOS setting from RAID to AHCI in order for the SSD drive to work and to be recognized when I try to install Windows 11, but this is not helping either.
I don't know what else I can do, but I really need to fix this urgently cause I need my laptop!
I don't have a spare one to use in the mean time, and it's quite urgent for me to have a laptop that is working!
Someone, please help and share the solution of this problem, if possible.

Just curious, were you running a 32 bit version of Ubuntu? In any case this page at Partition Magic may help. Also did you download the media creation tool from the Windows 11 page here?

Hello again!
It was 64bit version of Ubuntu, it came originally with the laptop when I bought it.
This product of Vostro has 16GB RAM, so 32 bit is out of the question.
Thanks for the link that you sent, I'm gonna look now into it, I really hope that it will help me out.
I have burned an ISO with PowerISO tool, didn't burned the ISO file of Windows 11 media tool...
You think that might be the problem?
I hardly doubt so, to be honest... But gonna try and download Windows media tool and try to burn the ISO and boot with the USB again, that's not a problem for me at all!
I just wanna fix and install Windows and finish with this nightmare once for all... I really need my laptop back.

Hi,
Booting it with Windows Media tool actually helped!
Thanks for that. it worked. I have runned the installation of Windows 11, all was fine, but now I'm stucked with another problem.
While trying to prepare Windows 11 for start up and putting all info, now I'm stucked connecting to a network... I cannot connect to Wi-Fi, only to Ethernet cable... and I cannot proceed.....
Windows 11 is becoming a nightmare for me!
Anyone had a similar problem?
Any idea how to fix this and proceed further?

This YouTube video explains how to install Windows 11 without using an MS account and with no Internet connection. You can add your MS account after Windows 11 is fully installed. And this page at the Makeuseof site has more information that may help. For some reason Windows does not detect the Wireless adapter in your system. The messy way around it would be to install Windows 10 (Windows 10 media creation tool here) then do the Windows 11 upgrade.
